BREAKDOWN

ETERNAL LOVE

Word for Word Performing Arts Company performs short works of fiction, without changing a word, preserving the author’s voice and honoring their intent with inventive staging and theatrical distribution of the text. Word for Word believes in the power of the short story to provide solace, compassion, and insight into our daily lives. We bring stories from diverse cultures to our diverse communities and develop future audiences’ love for the printed and spoken word. Some of the many authors whose works we have produced include Alice Munro, Edward P. Jones, Tobias Wolff, George Saunders, Amy Tan, Colm Toíbin, Zora Neale Hurston, and Sandra Cisneros.

Z Space empowers artistic risk, collaboration, and camaraderie amongst artists, audience, and community in the service of creating, developing, and presenting new work. In addition to being home to local and international artists and organizations, Z Space develops and produces its own new work. Over the past few years, Z Space has built a national reputation for developing and producing large-scale new works that reimagine the traditional musical theater form, receiving critical acclaim for Hundred Days (The Bengsons), The Lucky Ones (The Bengsons), and Weightless (The Kilbanes).
